[Sportsandrec] Sixth Grade Field Hockey Suggestions

[Lori]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it might be easier to track the sound of the plain puck--a 
tennis ball might move faster and if hit super hard the bells may not have 
time to jingle. Maybe a small buzzer or beeper could be afixed to the top, 
but it might be troublesome if the puck flips. It would probably require a 
modified puck that has a noise inside with holes on both sides and around 
the edges. We need a design engineer--I missed my calling *smile*.
